The bug is here:
     cstate = to_dpu_crtc_state(drm_crtc->state);

For the drm_for_each_crtc(), just like list_for_each_entry(),
the list iterator 'drm_crtc' will point to a bogus position
containing HEAD if the list is empty or no element is found.
This case must be checked before any use of the iterator,
otherwise it will lead to a invalid memory access.

To fix this bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator,
while use the origin variable 'drm_crtc' as a dedicated pointer
to point to the found element.

On the other hand, this code has been removed in 5.18-rc1 in the commit 764332bf96244cbc8baf08aa35844b29106da312.
